Vnx-rootfslxcvyos

Basic installation

VyOS is an open source network operating system that is based on Debian GNU/Linux and that joins multiple applications such as Quagga, ISC DHCPD, OpenVPN, StrongS/WAN and others under a single management interface. It can be installed on physical hardware or on virtual machines and it is a community fork of Vyatta.

Follow this procedure as a root user to create a VyOS based LXC root filesystem for VNX. The procedure has been tested with VyOS 1.1.7 over a Ubuntu 16.04 system.

After this steps, you will have a working VyOS LXC image ready to be used. You can start it and access the console with:

lxc-start -n vyos
lxc-console -n vyos

Note: the foreground option "-F" of "lxc-start" that allows starting the container and directly showing the console does not work (I do not now why; probably something related with the console/ttyS0 ports).
